Elemental Riddim – I Spect Records

A neat little 2002 roots set from I Spect Records, Elemental Riddim keeps the focus tight with just five cuts, and the presence of Dr. Ring Ding, Mystic Dan, and Skarra Mucci gives it a real cross-border feel. Beat Schmieda’s version piece anchors the project, then the voices ride a crisp, mid-tempo reggae groove that leaves room for the message songs to breathe, especially Skarra Mucci’s “No More Babylon” and Mystic Dan’s “Reggae Fi Days. ” It’s the kind of riddim where each tune gets its own space without the production ever losing shape, and the full lineup also includes Lobsta’s “Babylon Threat” and Ring-Ding’s “Who Are You Without Sin. ”
